Abstract: Disclosed is an image sensor comprising a substrate that includes a plurality of pixel groups each including a plurality of pixel regions, a plurality of color filters two-dimensionally arranged on a first surface of the substrate, and a pixel separation structure in the substrate. The pixel separation structure includes a first part that defines each of the pixel regions and a second part connected to the first part. The second part runs across an inside of each of the pixel regions.

Abstract: A mobile electronic device includes a first camera configured to capture a first image of a subject in a first field of view and including an RGB array, a second camera configured to capture a second image of the subject in a second field of view that is different from the first field of view and including an RGBW array; and an image processor configured to generate a target image using at least one of the first or second images in accordance with a selected mode of a plurality of modes. The plurality of modes includes still image modes and video modes associated with separate, respective combinations of output speed and bit depth such that the image processor is configured to control an output of the second camera to have a different combination of output speed and bit depth based on the selected mode.

Abstract: Provided is an image sensor including: a pixel array including a plurality of pixel groups each including first pixels to which a first conversion gain is applied and second pixels to which a second conversion gain is applied; a readout circuit configured to receive a first pixel signal corresponding to the first pixels and a second pixel signal corresponding to the second pixels through a single readout with respect to each of the plurality of pixel groups, generate first image data, based on first pixel signals of the plurality of pixel groups, and generate second image data, based on second pixel signals of the plurality of pixel groups; and an image signal processor configured to generate output image data by merging the first image data and the second image data in units of a pixel group.
